Re: Peak Oil v Alternative Sources of Energy

Oh dear Oh dear, You really have been taken in! As I explained, the problem is that you get the energy when you don't want it. What is needed for such systems is an efficient means of storing that energy for when you do need it. I am speaking from experience and I can confirm that even having the best system, facing east to west, unrestricted, during October to April, this system makes no contribution to my heating bills.
I'm not saying it makes no contribution, as in the summer we in effect get 'free heating' but is it? It cost £9,000 to have it installed. It saves me £200 a year. Therfore the pay back period is 45 years!

I wish it was cheaper, but the problem is 'men in suits' have cashed in on this, supported by people like you and have turned some basic science into........a con.
